SAN ANGELO, Texas – Dylan Hancock has had some big things already happen to him in a young rodeo career.
He is just a few months removed from being named the Resistol Rookie of the Year in both tie-down roping and the all-round. Last month, he was invited to compete at the Timed Event Championship, a unique competition in which the cowboys must test their skills in all five timed events; it’s list of champions reads like a who’s who of ProRodeo’s greatest stars.
None of it compares to what he experienced during Friday’s championship round of the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo.
“San Angelo is known for being big and loud and (having) one of the coolest (performances),” Hancock said. “To make a run like that and get the win at the hometown rodeo was so cool.”
He’s just 20 years old, but this is the biggest win so career. He entered the final round with a two-run cumulative time of 17.1 seconds, good enough for ninth in the aggregate race. He then put on a show on the final night of the regular rodeo, stopping the clock in 7.8 seconds to win the championship round and take the average title by four-tenths of a second over Cole Clemons of Lipan, Texas.
“I’ve figured for two days that I had the short round made, so I’d been waiting for that calf for two days,” said Hancock, who earned $12,472. “I was so amped up and ready to go. To win your hometown rodeo in San Angelo, it doesn’t get much better.”
In addition to his status in the rookie ranks, he finished the 2023 season 25th in the world standings. He’d love to take that up a few notches and secure his first qualification to the National Finals Rodeo, which features only the top 15 contestants on the money list at the conclusion of the regular season. Still, those buckles that have the Resistol nameplate on them will hold a special place in his trophy case.
“It was really cool,” he said of winning the rookie titles. “You have one chance to do it and one opportunity, and we capitalized and got it done. We had a great year and hopefully can build off it. Hopefully it’s better this year when we make the finals.”
Until then, he will relive his Friday night inside Foster Communications Coliseum.
“Tonight was the loudest I’ve ever heard,” Hancock said of the rodeo, which featured a record purse of about $915,000, which includes last Sunday’s Xtreme Bulls and the Cinch Chute-Out that takes place Saturday night. “It was unreal at how loud it was. It was wild.”
